FQDN

Figure 7.7.90.1: Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN)

The FQDN field encoding shall be identical to the encoding of a FQDN within a DNS message of clause 3.1 of IETF RFC 1035 [45] but excluding the trailing zero byte.

NOTE 1: The FQDN field in the IE is not encoded as a dotted string as commonly used in DNS master zone files.

A "Co-located GGSN-PGW FQDN" IE is a combined GGSN-PGW host name as per clause 4.3.2 of 3GPP TS 29.303 [46] when the Co-located GGSN-PGW FQDN IE is populated from 3GPP TS 29.303 [46] procedures. Specifically, the first DNS label is either "topon" or "topoff", and the canonical node name of the Co-located GGSN-PGW starts at the third label.
